saying for now. nearly 30 flights from l.a.x. to the three bay area airports were canceled today. tonight, the big question is, if i have a flight, can i get out of here? the answer is, yes. as long as you're not headed to southern california. but if that's where you need to go, it's possible you might get out, you just need to pack your patience. >> we have six airlines here at minetta san jose international that serve l.a.x. so that's 29 flights a day between the 6 airlines so there's likely an impact to many travelers. >> reporter: a spokesperson for san jose airport says travelers should give themselves plenty of time to get through newly stepped i security and before you leave for the airport, make sure your flight time has not changed. >> i made a big circle. >> reporter: for thousands of travelers already in the air at the time of the shooting, today was trying to say the least. >> i started in oakland, was supposed to go to l.a.x. from l.a.x. to austin. so ended up in ontario where

they told us all to get off the plane. go get our luggage. and then re-check back in going to different places. so i'm back here. >> reporter: five hours of travel time, richmond resident, debra, is back in the bay area, no closer to her final destination. she landed at mineta san jose airport at 2:30 this afternoon hoping to get a flight to austin this evening. >> just tired. just tired. >> reporter: a long day for most. some say the cancelations, delays and aversions actually got them home ahead of schedule. >> it actually ended up shorter for us because once we got to las vegas, we just found a flight coming to san jose. it was empty. and so we just jumped on and now we're here. so now we just have to make sure our luggage made it. >> reporter: well, traffic does seem to be picking up here at mineta san jose international airport. i can tell you inside, things are still relatively calm. at least at southwest airlines. for check-in and also security, those lines are relatively

short. live in san jose, kimberly terry. nbc bay area news. >> that's the fallout in san jo jose. now for sfo. arturo santiago, one specific airline impacted the most? >> reporter: the virgin america counter at sfo's terminal 2 is feeling the effects of the shooting at l.a.x. there were long lines and short fuses when passengers learned their flights were delayed or outright canceled. we're also seeing a larger than usual police presence. >> our san francisco police department team has just out of an abundance of caution done increased patrols around the terminals. that will probably just be a short-term measure for us. >> reporter: now, the terminal isn't teeming with police, but their presence is being felt. meanwhile at the virgin america ticket counter, travelers spent much of the day getting bad news as the day went on, the delays increased and nearly a dozen flights to and from l.a.x. were canceled. and the effects weren't limited

to flights between san francisco and los angeles. a flight from new york city was among those diverted to sfo. a lot of passengers spent their afternoon scrambling to find another way to get to l.a. >> i was hoping to get into l.a. because my nephew's game is at 4:00. and i was just trying to get there in time, but unfortunately, there are no flights available to get me in in that window, so kind of defeats the purpose of going down south. i'm going to head back home. >> probably won't be a flight today. so we would have to wait until tomorrow for the next flight. we have a wedding tomorrow, and a rehearsal dinner tonight. so we kind of wanted to make it down there tonight. >> either drive down, but there's apparently a ton of traffic, or take a flight tomorrow. so hopefully it won't be canceled tomorrow. >> reporter: virgin america did what it could to accommodate the people standing in long lines. they brought them out beverages and snack food as the passengers waited to be told they would not be able to fly to los angeles tonight. live at san francisco

international airport, arturo santiago, nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much. so let's back track here and give you a timeline of what happened. the panic at l.a.x. started exactly 9:20 this morning when a man entered terminal 3, pulled out an assault rifle and started shooting. hundreds of passengers waiting to go through security ran in all directions as police poured in. before it was over, one tsa agent had been killed and the gunman shot. nbc bay area's stephanie stanton joins us with more of the details of terror in that terminal. stephanie? >> reporter: yeah, terror indeed. that shooting happened at terminal 3. as you said, that is the virgin america terminal behind me. it happened just before 9:30 this morning. officials say a 23-year-old man who was living here in the los angeles area walked into the airport carrying that assault rifle. he opened fire. witnesses describe the chilling and chaotic scene. a tsa official working terminal 3 at the los angeles international airport was one of seven people wounded. another tsa worker killed when a

gunman, 23-year-old paul anthony ciancia, opened fire with an assault rifle as he approached a security checkpoint line. >> he proceeded up into the screening area, where tsa screeners are. and continued shooting and went past the screeners back into the airport, itself. >> reporter: airport police then rushed to the checkpoint. >> they tracked the individual through the airport, and engaged him in gunfire in terminal 3 and were able to successfully take him into custody. >> reporter: dozens of passengers were nearby when shots rang out. >> i was standing there and just out of nowhere, somebody started shooting. >> reporter: this cell phone video obtained by tmz.com shows the chaos as people ran from the shooting. operations at the airport were disrupted, affecting travelers in other terminals as well. >> they had us evacuate to the other side of the terminal and then they came through about

five minutes later and told us we were leaving the terminal. >> there were about 746 flights that were affected. >> reporter: passengers were loaded on to buses to clear the year. inbind outbound flights were cleared for a while, while those heading to l.a. but hadn't taken off yet were grounded. police believe ciancia who is in custody acted alone but can't say why he did it. stephanie stanton, nbc news, los angeles. and, again, officials are looking into that motive. officials say that the shooter, ciancia, has no connection to the tsa. also they say he has strong anti-government views based on some written materials he was carrying. meanwhile here at l.a.x., things are slowly starting to return to normal, but terminal 3 at this hour remains closed as the investigation continues. we're live at l.a.x., stephanie stanton, nbc bay area news. tsa agents say it's more

common than you think, passengers fpassenger s trying to go through security with firearms. tsa confiscated firearms at airport security checkpoints across the country just this week, 27 of those 29 were loaded. they also regularly find replica firearms, bb and pellet guns and ammunition at security check-in. travelers carrying firearms could be fined as much as $7,500. it's possible to carry firearms on to the planes but into checked baggage. one more time to l.a. x. live pictures from our nbc helicopter down there. the gridlock for the cars coming in. l.a.x. closed for a long time. it's re-opened in part. people pryitrying to come in an out. our coverage of the l.a.x. shooting and its impact across the state and country, we continue it online at nbcbayarea.com. there you can hear more stories from travelers. and get around-the-clock updates. now an nbc bay area

workers, but that didn't stop them, even though they can't legally strike, from cases all being miraculously sick. >> you're going to get a point where you'll get an oppressive employer. you start getting unhappy workers. and safety starts going down. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. workers plan to release the results of today's vote at 11:00 p.m. tonight, with hopes the contentious b.a.r.t. battle will be a distant memory, at least for the next four years. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. ahead at 6:00, it looked like a war zone, but it was only the morning commute. what caused this smoky scene. ten years since you've been doing this together and you all still get along. >> it's like a marriage. >> and it's one of the most successful marriages in silicon valley history. an exclusive behind the scenes look with the co-founders of one of the most popular websites in the country. and good evening, i'm jeff ranieri in the nbc bay area weather center. one of the warmest days of the week happening today.

but we're upon some windy weather for this weekend. we'll have details on how high those winds could gust. plus some much cooler changes and our next possible rain in just about five minutes.

in the cut throat world of the silicon valley we often hear stories of deceit, bitter breakups and stolen business plans. there's a trio of women that's changing the game. what's their secret? why is their website so successful? why haven't most of us heard of them? that all changes tonight. "the interview" with the founders of blogher. in the shadows of that sparkling oracle campus in redwood shores is a nondescript building, no signs or fanfare, just a small office with three high-powered women. it's been almost ten years since you've been doing this together and you all still get along. >> it's like a marriage.

>> reporter: you might not know lisa stone, jori de jardins or elisa camahort page, but you've heard of their website, blogher, a collection of blogs that attracts about 55 million unique page views every month. that makes blogher more popular than the website, abc news, fox news, and, yes, nbc news. mostly women, but also some men. >> the fact that sasha and malia can go to places like blogher and found thousands of people who are writing about subjects from health, to family, to food, politics, and careers means a lot to me and means a lot to michelle. >> reporter: this isn't just online, but also in person. blogher's annual convention now attracts thousands of people. what makes you all work? what makes this company successful? >> well, there is a shared desire to see women reach their potential online. we know that they're there.

and we all three of us believe in it because that's what we were doing before we started the company. and how do we do that for others? we all are just as -- as the rest of the community we serve. >> are you surprised at the success of this? this has been ten years now. >> i have to tell you no. i grew up on print and broadcast media and went online in a time when message boards were popular and robust in the first bubble. at the time, i remember thinking it's amazing, i can put up the best magazine content online, and i can't get women out of the message boards to look at content from some of the world's biggest brands. and it was fascinating and educational because it turned out that we are the lucy ricardos and the dear abbys and the erma bombackas and oprahs of our lives.

>> you're all female. that doesn't happen often. are you disappointed it hasn't increased and will it increase in the next three, five years? >> you know, one of the things we're so committed to is helping women get paid for their work and start the kinds of things that can put them in charge of their own companies. it's amazing. we started out just trying to answer the question, where women can blog? and now in the past four years we paid out $25 million to more than 5,000 women, and some men, who write their own great stories, blogs and have their own following on social media. so we start something, we are really committed to helping other women create their own functional profitable businesses because we find that when women make a revenue stream through our company, they invest back in their businesses and hire more women. >> what's the biggest misconception about blogher? >> about blogher? or about bloggers? >> about blogher. >> oh, that men can't come to the conference. >> it's true. >> that's the biggest misconception. >> we have men who attend, we have men in our network. we have men whose voices we hear

on -- we have always from the beginning -- >> so it's not a man bashing site? >> not at all. not at all. because, you know, we like men. wait, that came out a little -- >> but, you know, there are so many men who have really resonating fall audiences and we want to represent them, too. >> we should note, blogher received funding from nbc universal's peacock ventures in 2008. by the way, next year's convention, back to where it all started, in san jose. we'll be posting this segment on our website this evening. there you can also find our other high-profile interviews. nbcbayarea.com/theinterview. caldecott tunnel is back to normal tonight after a frightening car fire shut down one area early today. drivers abandoned their cars and walked out of it. unlike the deadly 1982 tunnel fire caused by a collision between a gas tanker and several other vehicles, today's fire was extinguished quickly. unsnarling the resulting traffic tie-up took until noon, though. several people went to the

hospital with complaints of smoke inhalation, but no other injuries to report. the slopes are open. skiers and snowboarders are getting a special treat. borielle resort opened its slopes today at noon. take a look. it's the first time, actually, though, in five years they didn't open in october. but that's all right. what is it, november 1st? they only missed it by a day. mother nature wasn't cooperating with the plans, so crews had to spray down some manmade snow on top of the real stuff that fell in the sierra earlier this week. if the snow keeps falling this weekend, they hope to remain open this weekend. with that, i fwes guess we know the answer because we know a good friends of ours. >> not a whole lot of snow. does look great up there but they could pick up a few flakes as we head throughout saturday's forecast. otherwise in the bay area, it was sunny, it was warm. i hope you enjoyed it. this is the best day out of the next seven days in that forecast. temperatures at least when it comes to weather. 76 in livermore. 77, san jose. 75 in the valley. 72 in san francisco. i'll have more on this forecast

coming up. let's take you outside on this friday night to the sky camera network. it's been hazy here across the south bay. that's going to get kicked out with our latest forecast update. we are tracking windy and cooler weather to come your way bay this weekend. see in foster city as the sun set, fog free and awesome view tonight. on that forecast as we head throughout saturday, what we are going to find is at the coastline, temperatures are in the low 50s to start. also clear skies. clear by the bay and also inland. throughout 11:00 a.m., generally 50s to about low and mid 60s. we will have some warming afternoon highs. just not going to be as hot as it was for today. wind not a big problem. 5 to 10 miles an who ahour. we have a newly issued wind advisory beginning saturday night from the national weather service. the south bay, east bay and peninsula, winds could top 40 miles per hour. in the hills, above 1,000 feet. from saturday night all the way throughout sunday at this point. that's something to definitely

the family of the 13-year-old boy shot and killed by a sheriffs deputy has filed legal claims against the sonoma county board of supervisors. the move is seen as a precursor to a lawsuit. at the same time, there's a new push to get the u.s. commission on civil rights involved to investigate claims that the boy's death points to a larger problem within the county. nbc bay area's monty francis joins us in santa rosa with the details tonight. >> reporter: raj, good evening. the family filed three claims against the county. one on behalf of the boy's mothers. another on behalf of the boy's father. a third on behalf halhalf of hi. supporters of the boy's family are gathering for a day of the dead observance at the spot he was killed. it's a mexican holiday honoring the spirit and memory of loved

ones who have died. on everyone's mind is 13-year-old andy lopez. the documents filed by his family do not specify the amount of damages being sought but call the shooting unreasonable and unjustified. as the memorial for 13-year-old andy lopez continues to grow, the grief and anger over his death shows no sign of easing. now those emotions may play out in a courtroom as the boy's family takes steps toward filing a wrongful death lawsuit. lo pesz was carrying a replica gun when deputies confronted him and ultimaly opened fire killing him. the family submitted claims to the board of supervisors. the chairman of the board says he can't comment on the claims but said lopez's death has affected everyone. >> to lose a child is devastating, and i think the community really senses that. to lose a child in this particular manner, you know, is really rough. >> reporter: 48-year-old erick gelhaus is the deputy who fired the fatal shot when he mistook the replica gun for a real

ak-47. he's a contributing author to the website modernserviceweapons.com. tonight there are conflicting reports about the deputy's past behavior, described as heroic by some and erratic by others. his attorney has said he's been emotional about what's happened. longtime bay area activist mary moore says this specific case aside, there's a larger problem in sonoma county with officer-involved shootings. she said that problem goes back more than a decade when a report by the u.s. commission on civil rights found a disproportionate rate of civilian deaths at the hands of law enforcement. >> since then, there have been 56 other law enforcement-related deaths since 2000. >> reporter: moore says she's petitioning the federal government to come back and re-evaluate the county. she thinks andy lopez's death and the public's response could provide the momentum to make it happen. >> i have been following police abuse issues through the years. i have never seen an outpouring like what has happened in the

last week. >> reporter: the day of the dead observance continues here in santa rosa tonight. lopez's family is holding a news conference on monday and plan to file a lawsuit in federal court alleging that lopez's killing was a violation of the fourth amendment limits on police authority. and the board of supervisors is inviting the public to come to its meeting on tuesday so there can be a public conversation about the tragedy. live in santa rosa, next bay area news. the millions of people still in need of affordable health insurance are not signing up on healthcare.gov. congress released documents showing problems that the website only allowed six people to enroll on the six day and 248 people on day 2. health and human services department says those numbers are based on notes and not official enrollment statistics that it plan to release later this month. the obama administration says it is working to correct the glitches and hopes to have it up and running well by the end of this month. he is begging for mercy. fugitive edward snowden is

animals. >> reporter: he was part of a population scientist gabriel discovered has been exposed to an illegal form of rat poison. how deadly are these chemicals? >> they're acutely poisonous. >> reporter: so strong a quarter teaspoon can kill a 500 pound lion. pot farmers are using 50 times that on a single plant to keep animals away from their crop. gabriel has found 86% of the fishers he's studying have been exposed to the poison. six have died so far. >> got a signal already. >> reporter: with the help of mark higly, a wildlife biologist on the end yand reservation in humboldt county, they tag the fishers and set up cameras to track them. we hiked into one of those recently abandoned grow sites where we saw the trash. >> you'll see cans and things. >> reporter: and poison left of growers finished the season's crop. >> you could deplete a whole prey base in an area. so many species are dependent

on. northern spotted owls, fishers. >> reporter: last year a government task force spent $23 million hunting down and seizing marijuana plants on public land in california, but little funding is set aside for the cleanup. and that could have effects even beyond the wildlife for years to come. what happens when it goes downstream? >> basically flowing in with the water then it's picked up by those species that can use it most readily. >> i don't want to drink out of the creek now and come home and not wake back up. >> reporter: tribe member dawn blake lives on the reservation located near eureka. she believes it's only a matter of time before toxicants in the water could make those in her community sick. >> marijuana operations are potentially destroying the landscape. >> they're killing the animals. they're killing the forest. and they don't care. >> reporter: hikers like rick fleming fear the water issue could affect them as well because of the proximity of the

grow sites to water sources. he's part of the high sierra volunteer trail crew. a non-profit dedicated to cleaning up what growers are leaving behind. >> they're completely trashing the place. if we can go in there and safely pick it up, and get it out, then great. >> it's a green rush. >> reporter: a green rush for marijuana instead of gold. at a cost to our environment. >> and it doesn't just impact our state. these are our national treasures. these are our national forests and our national parks. >> and what makes our national forests and tribal lands so desirable for growers? they can tap into the water for free. they often go undetected. but just this week, senator dianne feinstein urged the environmental protection agency to help stop the environmental damage taking place in the central valley. but, you know, as you just saw, it's happening way beyond that area. it's happening throughout the state. >> right. it's disgusting the way it looked out there. so sad for the animals. >> it really is.

>> reporter: which is why here at second harvest food bank in san jose, administrators say they're bracing for a tsunami of need. 51,000 families in santa clara family rely on food stamps and are each expected to lose the equivalent of 20 meals a month because of the cuts. many are expected to turn to second harvest as a safety net against hunger. especially as even more cuts are expected. >> i think it's going to be very difficult, honestly, for second harvest to meet the increasedde mand we're going to see as this cut to food stamps compounded by additional cuts comes. >> reporter: second harvest already feeds more than a quarter million people a month and while the recession may be over, the number of clients continues to grow. the only think that's shrinking is how much help the government is providing. second harvest usually sees an increase in demand during the holidays, so the ceo tells me that she's really concerned about seeing this additional

influx at the same time. reporting live in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >> thank you. want to take you back out to the protest that's happening right now. there's a gathering tonight, again, for andy lopez. he's the 13-year-old who was shot and killed by a sheriffs deputy. the boy was carrying a replica gun. today is the day of the dead observance. tonight there are about 75 people gathered at that site where andy was shot. well, one of america's favorite foods will soon be changing. kraft macaroni and cheese is removing artificial dyes from its mac and cheese that's marketed to kids. that's the pasta that's shaped like cartoon characters. they'll now use paprika to give it its color. kraft says this is not a response from pressure of the fda to ban dyes. let's bring in chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. we're here, it's friday. we're heading to the weekend. we're in a good mood.
